President Barack Obama thwarted Weymouth’s Rob Corddry from securing an Emmy three-peat Saturday night when the 66th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards were handed out at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Zach Galifianakis’ interview with Obama last March on the actor-comedian’s “Between Two Ferns” show on the Funny or Die website won the Emmy for best short-format, live-action entertainment program. Corddry took home the trophy in 2012 and 2013 for “Childrens Hospital,” the medical show parody he stars in, produces and created. In July, Corddry, a 1989 graduate of Weymouth North High School, hosted a panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego to promote the new Adult Swim show “Mike Tyson Mysteries.” He can also be seen in the comedy “Sex Tape,” which is in theaters. In the unstructured reality program category, the A&E series “Wahlburgers,” about the Hingham burger restaurant run by chef Paul Wahlberg and his celebrity brothers, Mark and Donnie, lost to Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch.” “Life According to Sam,” the documentary from Sean Fine and Andrea Nix that featured the inspiring story of late Foxboro teen Sam Berns, won for best documentary film. Berns died Jan. 10 after a fight with progeria syndrome. He was 17.Awards in other acting, writing and directing categories will be given out at the Aug. 25 ceremony airing on NBC.
